The first book of the series was Southern Poets and Poems, 1600-1860, published in 2023.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePoetry conveys a kind of truth not found in other forms of human communication. The great William Gilmore Simms said that verse was necessary to understand the Confederate people in their historic struggle for independence. Southern verse, he wrote, was essential to knowing the opinions and ideas, the motives and actions of the Southern people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd what a dedicated, skilled, and honourable struggle it was! Fashionable historians now treat everything favourable about the Southern Confederacy as a \"Lost Cause Myth.\" They are wrong. Confederates were a learned and thoughtful people and studying these verses demonstrates that there is a great deal more to the Lost Cause than a Myth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 234\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.49 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 15, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53425845010739,"sku":"9781963506327","price":28.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/fJbmCzyXYW9781963506327.webp?v=1780524430","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-land-they-loved-volume-iii-confederate-poets-poems-volume-ii-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
